Only a Dynamic of Development Can Escape a Dynamic of War

Leading Developments

March 22, 2025 (EIRNS)—Discussion between the U.S. and Russia, as led by Presidents Trump and Putin, has walked the world back from the brink of immediate nuclear confrontation, and toward normalized relations between the world’s two largest nuclear powers—an indispensable condition for any viable and peaceful future of mankind as a whole. Within that, negotiations are proceeding toward a resolution to the conflict in Ukraine, likely, according to several sources that include U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff, to involve new elections in Ukraine.

On the other hand, the situation in Southwest Asia hangs by a very thin thread, as Gaza has once again, and with the apparent approval of President Trump, been turned into a genocidal war zone under Israeli assault. Along with the resumption of direct military attacks, supplies to Gaza have been completely cut off, and food, fuel, and medical supplies are quickly dwindling. Catastrophic injuries and deaths are once again beginning to pile up, mostly among children, women, and the elderly.

The claim is that perhaps now Hamas will be willing to accept the terms offered, with nary a mention made that it was Netanyahu’s Israel which broke the ceasefire deal by refusing to negotiate the promised Phase 2. However, the historical dynamics operating under the surface, those behind Netanyahu in Israel, the transatlantic military industrial complex, and beyond to the historic British and U.S. intelligence role in the manipulating conflicts in the region, tell a more complex tale that can’t be addressed by reacting to mere events.

Not only does the conflict in Southwest Asia not have a purely local cause, but it cannot be solved with a purely local solution. The only viable approach is that called for by Helga Zepp-LaRouche: We must now form a new, global security and development architecture that takes into account the interests of all countries.

For someone who thinks the diseased thoughts of geopolitics, that all nations must secure their interests against those of all other nations, such a new system would never work; for someone who thinks the thoughts of a creative human being, such a proposed system is the natural, next evolutionary step of human society, as we overturn geopolitics and adopt a new way of thinking about human relations which puts the interests of humanity as a whole first.

An example of this principle in practice is the LaRouche proposal of the Oasis Plan for Southwest Asia. This plan was presented on March 18 by President of Solidarité & Progrès Jacques Cheminade to a meeting of the Académie de Géopolitique de Paris, at which he rightfully asserted that “there is no other choice than a win-win agreement for the people if we truly want to achieve peace. Only a dynamic of mutual development can escape a dynamic of war. This is the Oasis Plan method…. It has characteristics specific to this region of the world, but to ensure its lasting success, it must be situated within the context of an international architecture of mutual peace and security, beyond this region. The only war worth winning is the war against the desert.”

Peace in one part of the world must lead to peace in all parts of the world. Though the situation with regards to the war in Ukraine is hopeful, we must act rapidly to ensure that triggers aren’t pulled somewhere else to blow up the situation. All concerned citizens of the world must do their part to make the dynamic of peace, as exemplified by the Oasis Plan, the agreed-upon basis of a new world system. Until then, our job is not done.

Take Helga Zepp-LaRouche’s remark to the 94th meeting of the International Peace Coalition as a mission statement: “It is my deepest belief that only by changing the paradigm completely can we avoid a catastrophe.”

Tragedy Need Not Be Destiny

June 22, 2025 (EIRNS)—With the initiation by the United States of war on Iran this weekend, the final military objective of the 2001 “seven countries in five years” plan revealed on March 2, 2007 by Gen. Wesley Clark in an interview with Amy Goodman, the War Party is on the move once again. Journalist Glenn Greenwald pointed out yesterday that “Iran just became the eighth Muslim-majority country that the U.S. has bombed in the last 15 years, from Obama to Trump to Biden to Trump.” The list comprises Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia, Pakistan, Yemen, and now Iran.

Your life, in as little as a few days or weeks, could end in an “accidental thermonuclear war,” triggered by the dropping of a tactical nuclear device on Iran, either by a renegade Israel, or by the United States, or by Israel with the agreement of the United States. What happens next, will be determined by the reports regarding the successful, or unsuccessful, destruction of the sites.
